Hello! again...
So, you can see from the date of my initial intro post how well my attempt at maintaining a blog went! And this is not the first time I've tried blogging, this was probably literally the only intro post I've ever actually published and left online...
But, here I am once more and I thought I'd like to actually make a concerted effort to try keep this blog going, seeing as the New Year is almost here and maybe this could be something I try to keep up.
At present, its five days after Christmas, I'm in the horrific seasonal limbo that we all seem to find ourselves in at this time and today I resorted to taking down all of the Christmas decorations and extreme cleaning just as something to pass the time and to distract myself (woo for placing my coping mechanisms in compulsive actions). I'm back at home-home, not uni-home, so it has been a good few weeks with the family but I'm kind of ready to return back to Chichester and make an attempt at getting myself into new semester study mode.
Things have been pretty difficult since that last post, a lot has changed and I can even feel it in my writing that I'm in a different, probably worse place now. BUT, I shall try not focus too heavily on that now, but just make this a little post to kind of re-introduce myself. It is the first step into writing again so I'll just post this blog regardless of any doubts I have for it and hope that whoever might be reading - you don't find it too all over the place!
I'm now 20, to be honest, feels no different from 19 really! I have finished semester one of second year and what a ball-ache that was. I've got a post planned for a kind of guide to adjusting to Second year and how different it has been from First year so I'll save a lot of uni discussion for then!
Nothing too drastic has changed since my post in August, I've moved into a student house (post lined up for that...). I have tried to keep up with most of my hobbies and interests but so far my art has kind of been forgotten due to the extremely busy schedule uni has provided. I've gotten really into letter-writing and have actually kept up quite regular contact with friends and family via letters.
Anyway, I thought I'd write this little re-introduction before I launch into proper posts, and I hope that should anyone have bothered to read this you are all enjoying the festive season and trying to convince yourself that you've not just spent the past few days (weeks) in a holiday induced coma!
With love and light,
Lily
